atmos aws cloudformation watch

Attach to a stack's operation and stream its events until the stack reaches a terminal status — whether that operation is currently in progress, already finished, or was started outside Atmos entirely (the AWS Console, a CI pipeline running raw aws cloudformation, another teammate's terminal). This is distinct from apply/deploy/delete's automatic inline streaming, which only covers the operation that command itself just started.

Experimental
atmos aws cloudformation watch --help
 

Usage

atmos aws cloudformation watch <component> --stack <stack> [options]
atmos aws cloudformation watch vpc -s plat-ue2-dev

Watch all or affected components in dependency order:

atmos aws cloudformation watch --all -s plat-ue2-dev
atmos aws cloudformation watch --affected --base origin/main

Flags

--stack, -s (required)
Atmos stack.
--all (optional)
Watch all aws/cloudformation components in dependency order.
--affected (optional)
Watch affected aws/cloudformation components and their dependencies.
--include-dependents (optional)
With --affected, include dependent aws/cloudformation components.
--tags (optional)
Filter by tags (comma-separated, matches any): --tags=production,tier-1. Composes with --all/--affected to narrow the selected set further; cannot be combined with a single component argument.
--labels (optional)
Filter by labels (comma-separated key=value or key:value pairs, matches all): --labels=cost-center=platform,compliance=sox. Composes with --all/--affected/--tags; cannot be combined with a single component argument.

Behavior

If the stack ends in a failed status, watch exits non-zero, the same failure signal apply/delete give when the operation they started fails.

note

watch does not fire before/after hook events — only apply, diff, and delete do.
